Maple Leafs vs Jets Prediction and Odds: Expect Goals in All-Canadian Matchup
The Toronto Maple Leafs saw their five game win streak come to an end on Saturday night when they dropped a 4-3 decision to the Minnesota Wild in a shootout. They look to rebound on Sunday when they travel to Winnipeg to take on the Jets.
The Jets are just 4-5-1 in their last 10 games, but they're coming off a win against the New Jersey Devils in which they put up a touchdown and a two point conversion's worth of goals, beating them by a final score of 8-4.

Maple Leafs vs. Jets Prediction and Pick
Much like the Lightning against the Flyers today, if you're confused as to why the Maple Leafs are underdogs to the Jets then look no further than who is starting in net for them. Michael Hutchinson is expected to get the nod, and if you're a Leafs fan, that should make you immediately nervous for tonight's game. He has an .857 save percentage this season, and has struggled since becoming a Maple Leafs back in 2019.
Due to Hutchinson starting in net, I'm going to look at the OVER six at -115. The Maple Leafs remain the best offensive team in the NHL, averaging 13.77 high danger scoring chances per 60 minutes of even strength play. The Jets aren't bad in that category either, ranking 11th.
It's a matchup between two strong offensive teams and one of which is starting a shaky backup goalie. I love the OVER 6 in this matchup between two Canadian teams.
